My DRL's are working. My lows are working, I think, but are dipped. Highs are working.What would make both sides dip? When I turn on the car, I don't think they are cycling.I just bought this car and need to get this fixed.
I have an Audi A4 cabriolet, and a Beetle Tdi. Love my Vdubs but they need some tlc!
So my left front dipped beam hasn't been working for a couple weeks and I finally went and got a couple replacement bulbs, put them in no problem (replaced both just so they would match) and it still doesn't work! The passenger side works fine, but the driver's side just tells me that it isn't working.

2006 2.0t 36K miles
I went to school and parked at 8:00 AM. Came out at 1:00 in the afternoon and started the car. The crank was fine but for about one second the RPM dipped to around 300 before recovering to the normal 900-1000 RPM like that of a cold start. I replaced the alternator myself 1500 miles ago so I don't think that's it.

View 8 RepliesMy passenger dipped beam headlamp has been out the last few days. VW said to replace the bulb. The one single bulb. That seems ridiculous to me. Is there something I'm missing?
View 2 RepliesI have a 2011 tiguan 2.0tdi 4motion, around 3 days ago the left headlight dipped beam stopped working, I replaced the bulb with no avail, the sidelights, and high beam work, just nothing on dipped beam, at first the warning lamp illuminated with the message on the screen, of check left dipped beam, I've checked and have no voltage going to the connection the bulb connects to, now the warming light and message have dissapeared but still no headlight. Where to locate the fuse for the headlight...
View 4 RepliesI've got a P0456 code on my 02 LS v6. I came to a stop at a light, RPMs quickly dipped twice from 800 to 400(ish) then went right back to normal idle (800-1000) and the CEL lit up. It seems to be running fine other than the RPM drops after coming to a stop.
I checked the gas cap, everything seems OK there. Checked the hoses coming into/out of Evap valve (well, assuming this diagram actually points me to the evap valve: [URL] .... and there were no major/detectable cracks. Any other hoses/fittings that I should check?
How do I turn off my headlights all the way... I can't seem to figure it out, the dail just makes them on, or even brighter, no off option.
View 9 RepliesAnd probably the worst headlights ive had for intensity out of all cars Ive owned. I took it to the dealer complaining of how dim they are. They adjusted the aim angle up and made them actually worse. Now my high beams just shoot up into the sky
I asked about disabling the "extended Bulb life" setting and they claim not to know anything about it. I am looking at getting aftermarket HIDs and correct angle adjustment to resolve this issue. I just cant believe how bad the OEM headlights are. These headlamps pass NHTSA regulations.?

The water in my B5.5 headlights had been bugging me so I finally decided to do something about it. I disassembled the front end of my car and pulled out both headlight assemblies, and was planning to just take off the clear plastic cover that the condensation sticks to and wipe out the water, like I have on my Saab. But I can't get the plastic cover off. Can you do this with the B5.5 headlight assemblies? How else would I get the water out?
View 2 RepliesThe right headlight has a distinct pinkish tint. The left still has the white light coloring. What's happening? I'm at 55,000 miles .....
View 3 RepliesReplacing my HID bulbs, and I thought the the driver lens was just more scratched or rock pitted than the passenger.
However, it appears that their is some fogging or dust inside the lens. It doesn't seem to be actual moisture - it appears almost like a layer of dust or residue - perhaps it had moisture at one time that has evaporated or vented out.
I bought my 2010 Passat 2.0T wagon a couple of months ago. Didn't drive it at dark time so much time, but what I noticed, it looks like headlights don't have asymmetrical beam there.
View 6 RepliesHow do you level or adjust the headlights on the b6 passat? I have the 2.0t halogen lamps but it seems like my headlights are pointing down???? Can i do this myself?
View 2 RepliesMy sister said her headlights were dull. So when she came over it looks like both HID's are out?
Since I have only owned pre Mk5 cars I know NOTHING about HID's. So why would they BOTH go out?
Looking for pictures with detailed explanation on how to adjust headlights, Passat 07 early VALEOS.
View 4 RepliesI have a 04 b5 passat. how do i turn my head lights off when car is runing?
View 24 RepliesBrake lights are OK. Turn signals emergency are OK. High beams and drl work.
We checked the driver door panel fuses and those are OK. Will try to replace a bulb.
So I bought a pair of the WinPower headlights and I can't find any posts of a How To remove the factory headlights. Looking for a link so I can finally change them out.
View 7 RepliesI have the Chinese LED-stripe headlights, and I've been getting condensation in them lately. The weather hasn't been particularly warm, cold, or humid lately, but it happens every time I use them. It does evaporate over time, but it is quite a bit of moisture when it occurs (definitely noticeable, and dripping down the entire front inside the housing). With winter coming, I'm worried about this continuing to happen and freezing, etc. Is there something I might have done wrong when I installed them? This is not a case of water getting into the light housings--it almost seems like I need to do something to vent them, however, to see if that prevents the issue.
